Publisher's summary

“Patterson and Lupica make a great team” (Carl Hiaasen) who get “deep into the lives of strong women” (Louise Penny) and Jane Smith is their greatest creation—a badass lawyer with a year to live.

“Jane Smith is the best character we’ve ever created. Bar none.”—James Patterson and Mike Lupica

Tough-as-nails criminal defense attorney Jane Smith is hip-deep in the murder trial of the century.

Actually, her charmless client might’ve committed several murders.

She’s also fallen in love with a wonderful guy. And an equally wonderful dog, a mutt.

But Jane doesn’t have much time. She’s just received a terminal diagnosis giving her twelve months.

​Unless she’s murdered before her expiration date.

I couldn’t stop listening to this book!

12 Months to Live is one of the best James Patterson’s books I have listened to in a long time! I hope Jane kicks her cancer and comes back in a sequel. Patterson and Lupica are a great team!

Excellent as usual

Great story, great narration, excellent overall. Lupica once again delivers a hit. Wish it could be a series. Jane and her partner are a perfect pair for protagonist and cop sidekick.

So puzzling

Enjoyed the book. Little confused by who was who but that was probably because I read it while remodeling was being done. It was read well.

The narrator was impressive. Loved the way she read it.

Somewhat hard to follow, but the reader was always able to pull me back in.
